Custom Design for Nelson: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
In-house designers turn napkin sketches and old low-res logos into print-ready vector art. Free with every order, proof in 24 hours. For Nelson, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Nelson is home to about 1,200 people across 1.5 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Ball Ground, GA (3 mi), Jasper, GA (7 mi), Waleska, GA (11 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Anniston Army Depot, around 96 miles from Nelson, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Nelson.
Because Ball Ground sits only 3 miles from Nelson, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Stencil, athletic, and period-correct lettering matched to the year that matters. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Shirts, banners, and signage drawn as one matched system. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The rescue service: old logos rebuilt as clean vector files that print sharp forever. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Describe it in a sentence; a designer builds it and proofs it within 24 hours. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Nelson customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Nelson customers, these three earn their keep.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Max weight, boxy drop, oversized print field: the streetwear formula. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Most new designs land on the Classic first. 80 plus colors means your art gets the exact backdrop it needs. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
The table below is the actual price list Nelson customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |

Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Nelson addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your nelson crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
